Not to cooperate with LDF-appointed panel: IUML Commission to hold next sitting on July 28 KASARAGOD: A commission led by retired judge M.A. Nissar, which is probing the violence and subsequent police firing here in 2009 in which two Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) activists lost their lives, held a sitting here on Wednesday. The IUML boycotted the sitting alleging it was a mere ploy to scuttle the investigation. They accused Mr. Nissar of bias towards the Left. The IUML district committee, at a recent meeting here, had decided to boycott the sitting maintaining that it would not cooperate with the commission that was appointed by the previous Left Democratic Front government. The IUML, seeking a fresh probe by a sitting judge, said the commission headed by Mr. Nissar would end up shielding the then Superintendent of Police Ramdas Pothan. Allegation Mr. Pothan is said to have fired at a violent mob on November 15, 2009. After a public reception accorded to top IUML leaders in the town earlier that day concluded, stones were thrown at a few vehicles and buildings. Mr. Pothan, in a bid to disperse the mob, is said to have fired from his service revolver, killing Mohammed Shefiq on the spot. Another person died of stab injuries sustained during the violence that triggered communal tension in the town for over a week. The Kerala High Court had ordered a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the incident after the father of Mohammed Shefiq, Musthaffa Haji, approached the court seeking a CBI probe. The court had also ordered payment of Rs.5 lakh in compensation to the victim's kin. Special Prosecutor Mohammed Kalathil representing the Police Department appeared before the one-man commission. The commission has fixed July 28 as the next date for holding a sitting.
